What is Breast Disease?
Breast disease refers to infections or cyst formations in the breast, with or without pain. These can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous), and in some cases, may spread if untreated. Common breast conditions include mastitis, cysts, benign lumps, and breast cancer.
Early detection is key—self-examination plays a crucial role. If you notice a lump or cyst that persists for a long time, it requires immediate medical evaluation. Hard, immovable lumps or lumps associated with skin dimpling may be cancerous and should not be ignored. Diagnostic tests like sonography, mammography, and blood tests are used to identify the exact cause and type of breast disease.
At Zenith Hospital, Nagpur, Dr. Manasi Thakur provides expert consultation, diagnosis, and treatment for all kinds of breast disorders.
